I believe The D will award the highest possible payout for a given hand. Otherwise, if you fold or don’t make a hand, you lose your bets. The game pays odds on the Ante if you make a 4-card flush or better, and even-money on the 1x Play bets.
The betting structure is similar to Mississippi Stud, where you post an Ante, then make a 1x Play decision to see 6th Street, and a final 1x Play decision to see 7th Street. A reader told me about a new ShuffleMaster game at The D Casino, where you try to make a 4- to 7- card flush, starting with 4 hole cards, and paying to see 5th/6th and 7th Streets on a community board.
